Re: [abcusers] ABCp proof of concept

I'd have to opt for the second option. Where myTune is a C struct and it gets passed through to all the relevant apis. This sort of interface can be made to be very OO and is trivially easy to wrap in an OO wrapper for say C++ or Python etc. That seems to provide for maximim flexability.

Someone stated that using ANSI C would be best but that we would definitely want to use the object oriented extensions to make it object oriented C (not C++)... Perhaps that is ANSI C today... I dunno... I haven't programed in C for 5 years and perhaps ANSI has certified an updated C spec to

First n bars would be the way to go. The layout of the title and incipit should be horozontal though, and not title above incipit. I also wonder if you might be able to set up an interface to abc2mtex similar to the abcm2ps. John Walsh suggested abc2mtex has the indexing feature and maybe

[abcusers] Indexing tunes with ABCMUS

I recently read about the ability to index tunes in one or more abc files using ABCMUS. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so. Would some kind individual reply (maybe by private e-mail) with some simple directions about how to index the tunes contained in a single abc file. If I can get
